Use of information collected on the ElephantVoices' website elephantvoices.org or ElephantVoices' applications for smartphones

We would like to inform you about ElephantVoices policies for the collection and use of personally identifiable information relative to the ElephantVoices website and applications for smartphones developed by ElephantVoices. Your personal data is managed in line with The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Parliament that took effect on 25th May 2018. Sites that are linked to our site may have different policies; please review the privacy policy on those sites for details.

We do not collect personally identifiable information about you on elephantvoices.org or via applications developed by ElephantVoices without your knowledge, and any such information is collected directly from you. For example, we may ask you to provide your name, e-mail address, mailing address, or other information about yourself so that you can receive information, conduct transactions, contribute data or participate in activities on the website.

We use the information you provide for us only for the purpose it is meant for. We do not send out newsletters without your consent. If you choose to receive e-mail newsletters from us, you are given the opportunity to unsubscribe on each e-mail; when you unsubscribe, we remove your e-mail address permanently from the relevant mailing list.

No personal information collected is shared with third parties. Information may, though, be shared with those with whom we contract to carry out the internal operations of the site. (For example, to send you a sound file, photo or drawing that you have requested, or purchased, on the site, or to handle money transactions). These contractors do not share personal information collected. If you, as an approved user of an application for data collection developed by ElephantVoices, contribute such data to any of ElephantVoices' databases, those data can be used by ElephantVoices for the best interest of elephants.

ElephantVoices does not, in any way, give, rent out or sell mail-addresses or other information collected, to others. Neither do we sell, give, or trade website statistics to any 3rd parties for data-mining or marketing purposes.
